This is my first Inuyasha fanfiction, We're in an Anime. Currently I am rewriting it with a better literay technique, thus why the beginning chapters will be more readable and later ones are... less skilled. xD Anyway, please enjoy reading this story and I hope you also check out it's sequels!

Btw, most of the chapters that say they are edited aren't really. The edited chapters will be labeled like below, with the spaces between wach letter and such. So if a chapter title isn't edited like that, I suggest checking back in a day or so before reading it so you can read the edited version. Much better, you'll like the story more. I'm actually working fast at editing these chapters... so... yeha :D

Kim Kode sat at the edge of her seat in her biology class room, her arms leaning against the cool blacktop table as her deep blue eyes stared forward. You could of confused her for looking at the teacher, some how deeply wrapped in the pointless lesson. But it wasn't quite so. Instead Kim's sight flew right over the middle aged man's head and was locked on that damn clock. How she hated that clock.

Tourturing her so with those ticks and tocks, literally, every seconds. Her fingers habitually tapped against the black top table, as if they'd some how change the clock's movement. It wasn't so though. It seemed the more she stared at the damn clock, the longer it took for time to pass. Like watching water boil. Only you could get up and do other things while water was boiling. Waiting for this class to be over meant drowning in pointless lessons and cramping her butt on the yellow metal chairs that her school supplied for them.

'Oh come on, you dumb clock! Please! It's a Friday, for god's sake!'

The clock didn't move any faster and the teenage girl let out a sharp sigh. She pushed a loose strand of her long red hair behind her ear and folded her arms on top of each other, lowering her chin to rest on the, literally, hand made pillow.

'Come on! Come on, come on!! I want to go home! Please bell, just ring! I'll be your best friend...!'

She considered how crazy it was that she was not only trying to talk to a clock. That wasn't enough, she was trying to communicate with it telepathically. Now that was just silly. But you couldn't expect her to be sane right now. It was five minutes before the end of the day's last period on a Friday. What normal teenager wasn't in some weird lala land where clocks could read your mind and take bribes of friendship?

Kim turned her head slightly, running her hand through her messy bangs with a sigh. Her head was turned towards the ground as she reached one of her hands down, slowly pulling her cell phone out of her jean's pocket. She had done this often, comparing the time on the classroom clock with her cell phone's and deciding which one she wanted to stand by. Her cell phone told her it was about three minutes earlier than the classroom clock did, so she decided to forget the fact the small device even existed.

Her blue eyes were about to turn back to her new favorite clock, though something knocked that idea out of her. Literally. She felt something softly tap into the back of her red head and heard a very soft bounce as it dropped to the floor. Instictivly she turned her head, blinking with confusion as she looked for some sign that said 'I did it!'. She liked it when things were obvious like that. But instead she saw only the bright smile of a blonde girl sitting next to the kid Kim sat in front of.

This girl was not just any blonde girl though. She was Alyssa Kode, cousin and best friend to Kim. The two had been best friend since almost the beginning, pretty funny to think about actually since the first time they met, Alyssa pushed Kim down and made her cry. They were small toddlers though, and it was only the beginning of Kim's falling career. Now they were both in high school together, known as the dynamic duo in these parts.

Kim stared at her cousin, trying to make sense of the big smile on her face. It was so abnormal to see Alyssa smiling like that in the middle of class, she'd pretty much forgotten about whatever had hit her in the head and made her turn around in the first place. Alyssa could tell this was the case and gestured down with her bright hazel eyes, glancing from the floor to back up at Kim a few times. It took a while, a few hard looks from Alyssa, and eventually a sigh while Alyssa mouthed the words "Look down, fool!" for Kim to put two and two together.

On the floor, in Kim's reach, was a folded piece of lined paper. Kim instantly knew what was going on now, glancing at the teacher to make sure he didn't notice anything, then bending over to pick up the note. She was so ninja.

She placed the paper on top of her notebook that laid on the blacktop in front of her. If you looked from a distance, it looked like she actually had some notes scribbled on it. But really the paper was full of mindless doodles that had nothing to do with biology. Well, except for the one of a ripped biology book being stabbed with a flaming sword.

Kim silently unfolded the note, pressing her palm against it to flatten out the crease and make it blend more into her other papers, looking like another page of dead tree collection. She glanced one last time up at the teacher to make sure he wasn't on to them, then looked down at the words her cousin had sent her.

"Hey Kim what's up? Is it just me or is this class the most boring of all?"

Kim smiled at the note, glancing back at her cousin who met her eye contact. Kim gave a little nod and turned back towards the note, hearing a few muffled giggles from her cousin for no reason. Alyssa had always been a giggler.

"I know! I don't think Mr.Gruffen even knows what hes talking about. Seriously if I don't get out of here soon I'm going to stab my pencil through my eye."

Kim had to get the cooperation of the kid who sat between her and Alyssa, Josh Lecks, but it was easy since the kid was pretty shy and had trouble saying no to someone. It wasn't like they were taking advantage of the kid, he just shouldn't of been so easy to use as a note connection. Besides, he didn't seem any more thrilled about the lesson than Kim did. At least passing the note would give him something to do.

Josh handed the note to Alyssa who was slightly less stealthy than Kim. Probably because Kim was just so much closer to the front of the classroom and more in the teacher's view, being the end seat and such. Alyssa was just a face in a crowd of students. Not to mention the teacher's back was now to them as he wrote something on the board.

Kim didn't look back as Alyssa unfolded the note, looking down at the message and getting a few louder giggles. The class looked at her with confused looks, wondering what she had found so funny about whatever was going on in the lesson. Kim shrunk into her shoulders a bit as the teacher also noticed Alyssa's laugh, turning away from the white board with his marker still in hand.

"What's so funny, Ms. A. Kode?" He asked with a little grunt.

"I've never had a student find the water cycle so entertaining." His voice made it clear he was being sarcastic, not expecting at all for her to be actually paying attention.

Alyssa and Kim made life plenty difficult for their teachers. Not only did they act up together quite a few times, but they couldn't be quite as fierce when addressing them by saying 'Ms. Kode'. Both would look and it would ruin the whole moment. So Kim was of course 'Ms. K. Kode' and Alyssa remained 'Ms. A. Kode'. Despite how hard the teachers tried to intimidate them this way, Kim and Alyssa usually found their tactics quite lame.

"Nothing Mr.Gruffen. " Alyssa lied as Mr. Gruffen capped his marker and put it on the board railing, walking over towards where Alyssa sat. He took a glance at Kim as he passed her, only able to assume she had some part in this. Plus she was trying too hard not suspicious, which just screwed her over in the end. Kim never was good at lying, even with body language.

Alyssa sighed when he reached her blacktop, Josh now between her and the teacher and looking like he was going to have a panic attack. Not that he could be caught for anything, but he still felt like an accomplice. Alyssa knew the teacher couldn't be falling for her lies, especially when he held out his hand towards her and gestured with his eyes down at the note. His whole stance basically said 'hand over the note if you want to pass this class', and hell if Alyssa was going to risk having to sit through another year of biology.

All classroom eyes were on Mr. Gruffen, most of them hoping he'd last the last few minutes of class by reading out the note. Alyssa and Kim feared that kind of embarrassment, but even more what Mr. Gruffen would do. They just had to talk about him, didn't they? They couldn't of been safe and talked about unicorns or something. It had to be stupid him and his stupid class.

Mr. Gruffen finally lowered the note from his sight, walking towards his desk as he folded it back up and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Very funny girls. "He said when he came to his desk, sitting in his chair, going into a drawer and pulling out two pink papers. Kim and Alyssa looked at each other, both knowing their necks were out and ready to be cut. Alyssa had the note and the teacher wouldn't of even needed Kim's name on it to know she was the one Alyssa had passed it to. But yet still, there was the proof. They looked away from each other and towards the teacher as he wrote something on the paper then stood.

"Now I have a note for you two. " He said, walking a paper to each of the Kodes. The paper had a lot of pointless infromation on it like the date, procedures, names and Mr. Gruffen's messy signature. But the only thing the girls paid much attention to was the big block letters at the top.

DETENTION.

Alyssa sighed and Kim just banged her head on her desk.

'Great now I have to spend more time here! And in detention! Ug thanks a lot you stupid clock. You couldn't of just rang before Alyssa and I were so bored out of our minds that we had to pass a note! I totally blame you Father Time!'

About a minute later, the bell rang and the school hallways were suddenly swarmed with teenagers, all anxious to get out of this hell hole called "Highland High School" and start their weekend. It was kinda ironic the school was called "Highland" while the whole time, you felt like you were in the deepest, lowest, and darkest pits of hades.

The students ran to their lockers, wanting to escape the bricked hell as soon as possible. There were random groups spotting the halls and making plans for the weekend, some oblivious people yelling because they thought everyone cared about their complaints. Most people didn't but who would want to speak to someone like that in the first place? They'd rather avoid hearing the person's voice any longer and quickly get out of the area.

It was a speedy clean out though and the teenagers left just as quickly as they had came. The outside campus was now litered with souls while inside remained a puzzle of abandoned hallways and classrooms. Minus the two cousins that stood in the locker bank, a dark cloud hovering over their heads.

"I can't believe we got detention. "Alyssa whined, leaning against the locker that was next to Kim's.

"I know! I want to start my weekend. "Kim said while getting her things out of her locker. Alyssa grumbled as she opened her own locker, the one next to Kim's, and pulled out her book bag. She noticed Kim only pulling out her book bag from the small locker and stuffing everything else back in.

"You do realize we have math homework right? "Alyssa questioned. Kim shrugged.

"So?"She asked.

"Your going to need your math book. "Alyssa said and pointed at Kim's locker. Kim rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. As if I was going to do that stupid homework anyway. "She mumbled. Alyssa rolled her eyes with a smile as she pushed her math book into her own backpack. She closed her locker, the sound of Kim's locker door crashing a bit after her's did.

The two exchanged looks before heading down the hall, both moving as slow as possible down the long hallways. They had to glance a few times at their detention slips to remember the door number that they were suppose to go to, and despite all their long ways they eventually found the room with too much time to spare.

Kim was the first to go into the room, holding to door open behind her so Alyssa could get through. They paused at the door for a moment, looking around their new jail cell. There weren't many kids there, most people knew better than to screw up on a Friday. It was too easy to ruin a weekend like that. In front of the six or so students sat a teacher, bored looking and staring down at that day's newspaper.

"Umm, excuse me. "Alyssa walked up to the desk and stood in front of the teacher, or in this case prison guard. He looked up at her, obviously expecting to see some sort of hooligan that had gotten into detention and now wanted to interrupt his special news paper reading time.

"What? "He snapped. Alyssa backed away from the desk slightly and smiled.

"We're here for detention." She said, pointing to her cousin who just rolled her eyes. Why be so nice to this teacher? He obviously didn't appreciate it.

The teacher sighed.

"Really? Detention? I never would of guessed. I mean after all it's not like we are in the 'Detention Room'." He said sarcastically. Kim giggled a little and Alyssa blushed, sending a warning glare at her cousin. Kim read the glare and stopped laughing, but kept a little smile on her face as if telling her cousin 'What? It was funny' with a little shrug.

"Sit over there." The teacher pointed to two empty seats in the back of the class, then went back to his paper. Alyssa looked at Kim and they took the long hard and already boring walk to their seats.

"How long is this? "Kim asked with a bit of a grumble.

"A hour. " Alyssa sighed.

"Be quiet back there! "The teacher yelled at them. The two girls insanity shut their mouths, no wanting to risk getting in even more damn trouble. They weren't even sure if they'd survive this hour. Who knew what torturous extra punishment the teach would slap onto them.

Alyssa rolled her eyes a bit, this already being horrible for her. She tried to think of something entertaining to do. This wasn't her first time in detention, in fact it was her and Kim's fifth time this year. So they of course had a few boredom back up plans for situations like this. One of them being the wonderful game they'd thought of, pretty much looking around at all the people with them and guessing how the other student's had earned their detention. She rested her chin on her palm, her eyes casually glancing around the room.

'Lets see there's five people in here other then me and Kim.'

She looked over at Kim, about to ask her cousin if she wanted to join in on the game. But it didn't surprise her when she saw Kim's head buried in her arms on the desk, slowly her body moving up and down. She was already asleep, ready to make the next hour go as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Alyssa giggled a bit, trying to avoid the glare of her teacher for making a noise. She could of killed someone and wouldn't got as horrible of a glare as the one he had just given her. She made the mental note to keep all laughing in her head for now on as she looked back around the classroom, beginning her game.

'Lets see I'll start with him.'

Alyssa looked at a jock who was drooling in his sleep like Kim was. She identified him as Brady Jones, stereotypical athlete jerk. He wore the school's football jacket with the shades of red and blue, the school's colors. He rested his head on his foot ball, drool dropping down the side of his mouth and the pigskin.

'Stuffing some nerd in a locker.'

Alyssa went to the next kid. A girl with short purple hair, pale skin, and black make up. Her whole outfit was black and some signs of red and purple. Her eyes were staring off at something.

'Standing up to a teacher for being unfair and evil. Or some sort of rebellion like that...'

Alyssa followed the girl's eyes to a boy, sitting there just as distracted by the purple haired girl as she was by him. They looked longingly at each other, as if the two desks keeping them apart was some vast ocean of their own love sick tears. Alyssa quickly made her guess.

'Helping his girlfriend stand up to the teacher.'

Next was another girl who was wearing a cheer leader uniform, the same colors as the jock's football jacket. She was applying make up. Alyssa guessed to impress the jock after detention.

'Making fun of a poor dorky girl.'

And last was a weird guy who was just sitting there staring into space. He had blond hair that came to his shoulders, deep blue eyes, and wore a nice fitting pale green holister shirt with his faded and loose jeans. He had nice enough features, what most girls would consider hot. If they liked that whole surfer dude look.

His eyes were drowning in their blue as he looked forward at nothing, looking like he was trying to distract himself in his own mind from the boredom of this detention. It didn't take long for Alyssa to finally recognize him from a conversation she'd had with Kim not long ago. He''d walked back and Kim practically began drooling, going on about how funny he was in her Spanish class and all that admirer stuff that Alyssa would just nod at and pretend she was interested in knowing.

'I wonder what he's doing here.'

She looked at Kim who was still sleeping, completely oblivious to her heart throb sitting only a few desks away.

'Good thing she didn't see him or the whole hour would be spent drooling. Okay, now why is he here?'

Alyssa studied him a moment, trying to get clues. But he was rather... spacey. It was then that she realized something that could probably explain why he was here.

'Failing a big test or just being an idiot. I remember Kim saying something about him not being the smartest person ever.'

Alyssa realized she was out of people to make judgement on. She could try out her game on the teacher. He might as well of been another student, he looked like he wanted to be there even less than they did. But she realized him in the game would take too much thinking and considering why his life had led him to a job like this. She might of still been in the school building, but her hardcore thinking hours were over.

She looked back towards Kim, hoping to see if her cousin had woken up so they could do something entertaining. On the way her eyes glanced at the clock and caught sight that it was two twenty seven. Thirty three horrible minutes left of this torture. How she hoped Kim was awake now, but a pout came to her face when she saw Kim's head still laying peacefully on her arms.

'Nope still asleep.'

Alyssa kicked Kim's desk, trying to wake her up. Kim would probably hold it against her later, but Alyssa was desperate. Not that it mattered anyway...

She didn't wake up.

"Hey Kim! Wake up!" Alyssa said in a loud whispered, leaning down on her own desk as it to get closer to Kim's ear level.

Kim still didn't wake up. It was starting to get Alyssa mad, so she looked around for something she could use that'd really get the girl awake. Normally she would of just screamed something, but that would slap her in the face with the form of more detention.

Her hands quickly went into ther jeans' pockets, digging around for anything she could use. She felt her cell phone, a few left over pennies and dimes from buying lunch today, and then finally the perfect weapon. An square pink eraser that was worn around the edges from Alyssa's constant math mistakes. She had a big smirk, holding the eraser in her lightly tanned hands. She glanced at the teacher a few times, making sure he didn't care less what was going on with them and stayed focused on his paper.

Then, Alyssa made the attack, throwing the eraser at Kim's head and watching the rubber bounce off her red hair, tumbling to the floor with a light thud that she was pretty sure only she could hear. Alyssa waited with suspense as Kim grumbled something, rubbing her head where the eraser had hit her, then turning the direction of her head to face away from Alyssa, still keeping it on her arms and returning to her breathing pattern as she continued to sleep. Alyssa frowned with dissappointment, sighing as she reached down to pick up her eraser with defeat.

'Man this sucks. What could she be dreaming about?'

She looked over at Kim, a slightly bitter expression.

'Probably that stupid anime she always watches. What is that called? Inudogha? It has something to do with a dog.'

-(&)-

"Ahhhhh! Some one help! The clowns are attacking! "Kim screamed. Behind her was an evil clown called Mr.Giggles with big puffy red hair and huge purple and yellow shoes, storming down the halls of the school as he chased her through check points.

"Go away! "Kim looked back while running from him, looking forward again just in time to see the mob of her school's population standing in front of her, blocking the hall. But not only were they her peers, they were zombie peers!

"Ahhhhh!"

-(&)-

"..Evil...Clown.."Alyssa heard Kim mumble in her sleep. The blonde girl couldn't help but smile as she rolled her eyes, at least getting a little bit of entertainment from that.

'Oh great she's having the clown dream again. I wonder what thrilling details she'll have when she wakes up.' She thought sarcastically.

Alyssa sighed and looked at the clock again, this time it showing her it was four thirty and she had wasted three minutes. It pained her to think about how many more sets of three minutes she'd have to sit through.

Suddenly Kim's head shot up from sleep, luckily not making a sound other than a gasp. Any screaming that could of gotten them in trouble would of just... well sucked. The two cousin's looked at each other, making eye contact as deep blue met hazel.

"Clown dream? "Alyssa whispered to Kim.

"Clown dream. "Kim replied nodding.

Kim looked towards the clock as Alyssa giggled a bit, this time quiet so the teacher ahead of the room wouldn't hear. When Kim's eyes met the clock, her heart dropped. Still four thirty.

'Dang it!'

Alyssa smiled, not noticing Kim's wallowing in the pain of being there for another half a hour. The blonde leaned towards her, grinning as she spoke in a low whisper.

"I played the detention game and guess who I saw? "Alyssa pointed her finger towards the blonde haired boy, Kim's eyes following her lead and widening when they landed on the male-goodness. Her jaw dropped as her brain switched right into 'oh my god!' mode. Alyssa looked confused at Kim's sudden change, raising her brow to her.

"Ummm Kim? "Alyssa asked. Kim didn't respond.

"Kim? " Alyssa poked her, still getting no reply from the lost girl. Alyssa let out a long sigh.

'This sucks. Why the heck did I have to tell her? Being the weirdo she is she wouldn't of even noticed him. But no, I had to go and point him out...Am I really that bored? She was more entertaining when she was sleeping.'

She waited for what seemed like the longest time as her supposed best friend drooled at the boy. In Kim's mind, she jumped from one subject to another. Not completely stuck in drool mode only because of the boy, but also how bored she was. Drool wasn't actually coming from her mouth, she wasn't disgusting. Besides, the classroom probably had reached drool quota with the waterfall coming out of the jock's mouth.

'I wonder what will happen on Inuyasha tonight. Oh I hope Sesshomaru's in this episode! Mmm...Sesshomaru. Dog demon goodness.'

All the thoughts of hot boys was almost to much for Kim's brain to handle. She remembered that her and Alyssa were having a sleep over that night, even more she remembered how much begging it took to actually get Alyssa to agree to watching Inuyasha that night. Kim frowned when she recalled her own part of the deal. Alyssa was allowed to make any funny and dissing comments she wanted during the show, without Kim getting mad at her. Kim was about to sigh when...

"Kim only one minute left! "Alyssa said. This knocked Kim out of her drooling mode and into weekend mode.

"Really?" Both looked at the clock. They watched the minute hand get closer to the 12.

'Come on. Come on!'

"Okay kids, you can leave." The teacher got up but found that two of the students had already run out. If only the other little trouble makers could be that fast.

&)&) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Yes finally! "Kim smiled, already out of the building and adjusting her backpack. It was heavy since she always kept a basically the world with her in case there might be a surprise sleepover. Well almost the world, everything but her school supplies... Alyssa was right behind her, smiling with the slightly lighter backpack.

"And now we get to party all night!"Alyssa said, equally excited. Whenever they would hang out, no matter where, they would have a great time. Ever since they were about eight they were best friends. They were such good friends that when Alyssa was suppose to go to private school, they convinced her parents to send her to public school with Kim, who really had no interest in private school at all. Why spend money on basically the same education, despite the mostly more religious view that private schools usually focused on. Not exactly the best place for an agnostic like Kim.

"So, ready to watch Inuyasha tonight? "Kim asked, a smirk coming to her face. Alyssa just looked at her. One thing they didn't have in common. Kim was a huge anime and video game freak. A tom boy actually. She had many girly qualities to her, but none that went that far as most girls.

Alyssa hated anime and stuff like that. She preferred "reality" tv. Aka, MTV's lies. She liked preppy things like dresses and skirts, playing field hockey and dancing to some what hip hop music. Though she preferred country over any other kind. But in a few words, you could sum her up as a girly girl.

And Kim's obsession this month was Inuyasha, definitely something the girls didn't see eye to eye on.

"Do I have to? "Alyssa whined as they turned out of the school's area and on the street that led to Alyssa's house. They were lucky Alyssa lived so close to the school, even though Kim's house wasn't to far off. That was probably why most of the sleep overs were at Alyssa's house,which beat Kim's by about three miles.

"Come on! It's a great show. "Kim tried to convince her cousin.

"Whatever."Alyssa said. Both were too focused on the conversation to realize the open man whole carved into the street ahead of them. They just kept going, bickering a little as the open man hole got closer and closer...

"Yeah but still you should give it a chanc..ahh! "Kim's words turned into screams as she felt emptiness between her feet and the ground, as her stupidity pushing her down the man hole.

"Kim!" Alyssa went to the edge and leaned in, grabbing Kim's hand before she could completely fall in and using all her dancer strength to hold on to Kim. Gosh, why couldn't she of been a football player instead?

"Alyssa! Help! " Kim shouted.

"I am! Who's hand do you think your grabbing on to? "Alyssa snapped. But eventually, Alyssa couldn't keep them up any longer. She didn't let go of Kim's hand but found herself too close to the man hole's edge, tipping down herself and screaming as her feet lost contact with the ground, sending them both to their supposed sewer doom.

"Not cool! "Kim yelled as the two plummeted down. She expected a hard fall and closed her eyes, getting ready for the crash but instead got a tingling feeling. Her eyes squinted open as she looked around and gasped. She was pretty much floating in some kind of blue light swirly light, almost like being underwater. Which was... weird. Sewer water shouldn't be that clean.

She could tell she was still falling though because of the wind pushing up her hair. Her eyes traveled over to Alyssa who was too busy screaming and panicking to actually notice the difference of this fall.

Kim's eyes grew wide as suddenly the light was gone, replaced with forest surrounding them. She seemed to stay in the air for a moment, then fell straight down onto the green padded ground, her hair fanning out behind her on the grass with some strands landing in her face. She could hear the sound of Alyssa's body also crashing hard not too far away from her.

There were a few moments that was just them groaning, trying to make sense of what had just happened. Finally, Alyssa said the first words that were cusses or mumbo jumbo.

"Ow, where are we? "She whined trying to get up but her body wasn't coroperating. She looked around. Everything looked strange. She couldn't put her finger on it but it was... something she wasn't use to. And where the hell had this forest come from?

Kim sat up, rubbing her head and groaning again.

"Ow..." She said, not a very good answer to Alyssa's question. She opening her eyes, the light throbbing her headache. Luckily there were trees to filter some of the light- wait, trees? What were trees doing in a sewer? Her blue eyes opening completely as she looked around, her expression getting more and more shocked.

"Alyssa!" She gasped, gaining the attention of her cousin.

Kim knew where they were. She could recognize everything. The shape of the trees, the sounds, all of it was jogging her in one direction.

"What?" Alyssa asked while looking at her cousin, rubbing her back as she was finally able to sit off the ground.

"We're in a anime! "Kim yelled, looking at her cousin with a 'holy crap' look, making Alyssa's expression drop into a grim one.

'We couldn't of just died. No. It had to be an anime.'
